Yawn. It'll prove that Trump is rich and has very good tax lawyers and accountants.

WHAT “material interest” does Rachel Maddow have in securing ANY tax return from Donald Trump? WHAT procedure did she go through with the IRS, following this manual, to obtain the tax return? WHAT questions did the IRS employees she contacted (assuming she did, instead of obtaining the return ILLEGALLY) ask her to verify that she has a “material interest”?
It seems to me that Rachel Maddow has probably committed a felony. LOCK HER UP.

I suffered through about 5 minutes of the cow's opening soliloquy but could take no more. Got the scoop instead from other sources online.

Pretty innocuous really and just 2 pages from the 2005 1040. My guess is that Trump cherry picked the one year he wanted to reveal, and stuffed it in MSNBC's mailbox so they would all make fools of themselves slobbering over one another. Worked like a charm.

“Here’s the reality. If all we tonight is that Donald Trump paid $38 million to America’s government, that’s a good night for Donald Trump. I’m sorry. I was really hoping and praying that it would show that not only did he pay no taxes but he charged the government and got money back, but there’s nothing I could get excited about here.

The market value of precious metals is, as that of all other things, in the compound ratio of their utility and of their scarcity.

The Fascist State lays claim to rule in the economic field no less than in others; it makes its action felt throughout the length and breadth of the country by means of its corporate, social, and educational institutions, and all the political, economic, and spiritual forces of the nation, organized in their respective associations, circulate within the State.

Trump fires back at 'fake news' MSNBC broadcast and blasts Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter 'who nobody ever heard of' for surfacing his 2005 tax return – after journalist hints the president may have leaked it himself

Journalist David Cay Johnston said an unknown person sent him the top two pages from Trump's 2005 IRS return

Trump blasted him in a tweet as someone 'who nobody has ever heard of'

Johnston gave them to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow; White House accused her of violating the law in a desperate lunge for ratings and Trump called it 'fake news'

Trump made $253 million that year but wrote off all but 150 million as a loss carried over from a previous year

He paid $5.3 million in regular federal income tax and another $31 million in 'Alternative Minimum Tax' – something he wants to ban

Documents are stamped 'client copy' leading to speculation Trump leaked them

I think this is how it is going to go for the fading fake news monarchy. Stupid over hyped nothing stories leading to nothingburgers. The rest of the fake news upper crust is currently fanning themselves, experiencing vapors and spewing outrage over Sec of state Tillerson.
Sec Tillerson is going to Asia on a work trip and is not taking a huge airplane and allowing the press to fly, eat and drink on the taxpayer dime like the last sec of states did. He's taking a small plane and one press person.

Mr Tillerson is a former CEO of a huge successful international corporation and not a fucking peacock, he is a man who is here to do a job not feed, house and pose for pictures with the self styled press elite.

Reminds me of the time I decided to do something similar. I got tired of the junk mail so I printed up a buncha labels that said "No longer here - deceased" stuck 'em on the junk stuff and started dumping them back in the mailbox. Pretty soon the mail dropped off. Then, almost ceased.

Concerned, I went to the post office to see why I wasn't getting mail any more. The clerk investigates, then come back and says "That address says 'deceased' we've been sending the mail back."

Easier said than done. The "Code" is thousands and thousands of pages long and includes such obscure things as "Chinese students studying or training in the US may exempt up to $5000 of income earned while actively in school or training from Federal Income Tax through a special agreement with China". We have tax agreements with other countries in the code. Not as easy as it seems.

It is a nightmare and even those of us who know it (sort of) and can figure it out if we don't, have interpretation issues that get resolved in tax court.

I've a SIL that is a CPA and a bro that is working on getting an accountancy degree. I can understand why the guy that is half the age of the other would want to get into that business. But seeing what is involved and the hours my SIL works I am confounded why my brudder would be getting into that. Guess he wants a challenge.

I am around women 5 or more hours a day at work. I don't care if they have a black eye and half their hair is gone I never say a flippin' word about their appearance. Many times I would like to in a friendly or positive way, but never do. Women are all crazy and possibly dangerous.
